SCA: security update for twisted (GHSA-3gqj-cmxr-p4x2)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409525

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Twisted before 16.3.1 does not attempt to address RFC 3875 section 4.1.18 namespace conflicts and
 therefore does not protect CGI applications from the presence of untrusted client data in the HTTP_PROXY
 environment variable, which might allow remote attackers to redirect a CGI application's outbound HTTP
 traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request, aka an "httpoxy"
 issue. (CVE-2016-1000111)
